Strict and private ecosystem and strong system and browser adblockers make this my daily driver. 99% of spam calls are blocked by my provider using STIR/SHAKEN which only allows verified callers.

I only use security keys and passkeys and I have begun phasing out authenticators wherever possible.

I am slowly phasing out storing files on iCloud and moving to Synology however iCloud+ is secured by Apple Advanced Data Protection which saves all encryption keys on-device and never on any server. Virtually all of my iCloud data is end-to-end encrypted and iMessage now supports post-quantum encryption. But, I am still moving everything over to Synology eventually so that my data can move around regardless of ecosystem.
